2014 Album Update 3:I had some time consuming technical difficulties occur while recording guitars and bass for the new full length album. I'm currently working on remedying the situation so I can get back to recording as soon as possible.

Originally my plan was to release the new album around February 2014 but at this point I think a May or June release date would be more realistic.

I have finished writing all of the music and lyrics for the new album and I have already started the recording process!

"The best song of this release comes under the name of “A Change In You”, a true rollercoaster experience that is full of cool drum patters, solid riffs and very effective vocal lines. For a 5 song release, this EP is quite the presentation card for Born of the Stars. We are pleasantly surprised with the quality of the music and production found in this EP and hopefully will get the band noticed by labels"- Read the full review at: Infernal Masquerade

Born of the Stars is off to a great start in the new year! The debut Born of the Stars EP received an excellent review from givemeapick.com. Here is a little quote taken from the review: "When you listen to a solo project of this kind, you would always expect to find any weak spots in any of the instrumental or production phases; however, when I listened to it, it turned out to be a flawless piece of music." - Read the full review at: givemeapick.com
